Detroit Lion SS DeJon Gomes replaced SS James Ihedigbo (leg) with the first-team Thursday, Aug. 7, when Ihedigbo missed a portion of practice after being kicked in the leg. Gomes has also practiced with the first-team special teams unit throughout camp.

Washington Redskins SS DeJon Gomes has not proven he should be considered a future starter, although he did show good instincts in the box. Gomes is still adjusting to playing in space in the back, and is therefore viewed as a reserve heading into next season.
